Is japan gonna have another tsunami?

Question:

Answer:

Well, yeah. It's just a fact of geography: Japan is in a place where there are a lot of earthquakes, and it's natural that there are tsunami. In fact, there was a big earthquake/aftershock on Thursday, and a tsunami (50 to 100 cm.) occurred shortly after. Is Japan going to have another 9-meter tsunami? Gosh, I hope not for another 1500 years!!

Is Japan quite likely to treat most life surrounding them with disrespect?

Question:

Answer:

"Japan" is a bunch of dirt on surrounded by water. It has no feelings nor the power to treat anything to anything.

The Japanese people, on the other hand, are a varied lot. Some are passionate about life and treating life around them with respect. Some are health nuts. Some like making lots of money and not thinking about the future. I think you'd find them about the same mix as most other nationalities, to tell the truth.

Lumping everyone together as "Country X" only serves to dehumanize people, and break communication off before it gets started. And it's a little disrespectful, quite honestly.

Who is worried about radiation from Japan?

Question:

Who is worried about the radiation in the United States coming from Japan? I am personally worried for my kids, but I want to know what you guys think about the situation and what will become of it.

Answer:

There is no need to worry at all. There was much more radiation coming from Three Mile Island than there is now coming from Japan. The total amount that has leaked sofar is less than you would get from an entire day in the sun.

The Japanese are working very hard to prevent the catastrophy from becoming bigger, and are finally gaining the upper hand.

Even if there were a blowout, most of the iodine would have dissipated before it could hit the US coast.

Poverty has become a cause of various problems such as hunger, low education, harsh child labor and insecurity.

Answer:

You'll have to give me context. What are you trying to write about, and what for?

What do this japanese kanji mean and when do you use them?

Question:

伝える
以上
以来
意外
以外
見詰める
見詰めあ合える
疑い
交わす
埋める
尽く
立ち尽くす


Thanks a lot.

Answer:

伝える means to "tell" something, like "tell sister that dinner is ready."
以上 means "finished," or "that's all" like when ordering food or after a presentation. "just a coke, that's all."
以来 means "since" like "since the dawn of time" kind of stuff.
意外 means "surprising," but it's an adverb, so you use it like "there were surprisingly a lot of people."
以外 means "besides." you use it in a sentence like "there were more people there besides him."
見詰める means "to look directly at someone." Like, "the yakuza looked directly at him."
見つめ合える means to lock gazes with someone. Like in romantic scenes or just before a standoff duel.
疑い means to doubt someone. Like, "he doubted her when she said she didn't cheat on him."
交わす means to "exchange," as in "exchanging presents," or exchanging greetings.
埋める means to bury something. Like burying a dead dog.
尽く is kind of difficult, it means "entirely," but it is used as a suffix, so it has to be with something. Like "with all one's might" would be 力尽く but 使い尽く would mean "to use up." So the english translation depends on the context.
立ち尽く relates to the one above, in this case it means "to stand completely still" like in Jurassic Park when the T-Rex was sniffing the kids and snorted off the geologist's hat.

What does it mean if a japanese person call me "kisama" and i don't even know him?

Question:

I've had a long conversation with a japanese guy. I gave him my 2 email adresses and them he replied in another message. In the other message (it had REALLY hard kanji, even "arigatou" was in kanji, so it took me a while to figure it out), When i understood the message, he was saying thanks for the fact i was giving him personal information. And then he gave me his 2 emails. But one thing i noticed was that he called me "kisama" sometimes. From what i've learned kisama is a rude way for calling people.

What do you think?

Answer:

Yeah. It's rude. I don't know why he used it. It's weird.

Maybe, he thought you would not understand it.

What those the particle ら mean at the end of a verb in japanese?

Question:

I've seen it a few times in japanese texts and i can't understand it. What's worst is that i can't find any information related to that on the internet. Please can you explain generally the uses of -ra at the end of a verb in its differents forms?

Just to put an example i saw a japanese add (all written in hiragana), that said:みんなでがんばろら. What does this mean?

Answer:

It's more like slang, just an extra add on. Informal talk.

EDIT: The whole text, says something like "Good luck everyone." or "Everyone should do their best."

みんな - Everyone
で - (Connects the sentence)
がんばろら - Slang for good luck, or to do your best. The formal term would be がんばって

There is no actual meaning for -ra. There are just some words that they turn informal by adding on and taking off endings.

Well, much of the land was cleared out from the tsunami. Streams and rivers are flooded (more like raised) and completely trashed with debris from coastal damages. Mostly it's the sea life that was affected.

How much money should I save?

Question:

So, in 2 years (or more specifically, the winter of 2013) my mom is going to take me to Japan if I save enough money for all of my expenses. I know it will need to be a lot of money, but can someone give me an estimate, if I need money to get there and back ( from california), stay somewhere, eat, and do some recreational things for a week, how much (estimate) do I need to save up in US dollars?

Answer:

depends on what your mom expects you to pay for.

Does she expect you to pay for airfare? if yes, assume $1500 (most likely it will be less but better err on the high side)
Does she expect to pay for your hotel room? if yes, assume $200 per night (it may be less but you have no control over what type of hotel she picks)
Does she expect you to pay for your own food? if yes, assume $100 per day (you could eat for less but if you are with her, you might not be able to control the type of restaurant you end up at and what the prices will be)
Does she expect you to pay for transportation, souvenirs, trinkets, etc.? If yes, assume $200-$300 for the trip

Overall, I would imagine that she wants you to contribute some of the cost. If this is the case, $2000-$3000 would be plenty. If she expects you to pay for everything AND you have no control on what airline you fly, what hotel you stay at, what restaurant you eat at, etc. then better save at least $5000

What visa should I get to go to Japan in the FASTEST WAY?

Question:

My father is Japanese and he's staying in Japan. Mom is Filipina. They are legally married in Philippines. I only have Philippine Citizenship and Philippine Passport but I need to go to Japan in the fastest way.

My dad is asking me if what are the preparations should he make.
What visa should i get?
What is this Certificate of Eligibility for?

Answer:

Your question is strange. Your "Japanese father" is in Japan, right?
Then why does he need to ask you about the procedure for the Certificate of Eligibility which is issued by the Japanese government? As long as he wants to sponsor your stay in Japan, all he has to do is to submit some documents to the Japanese government like this:
http://www.moj.go.jp/ONLINE/IMMIGRATION/…

The Japanese government will examine the documents in details in accordance with Japanese Immigration Law. If neither he nor you have legal problems, the Certificate of Eligibility will be issued. How long does it take? It's up to the legitimacy of the documents. However, when a false statement was found on the document, the certificate will be nullified even after your entry of Japan.

What advice should I give my friend?

Question:

Hi, my friend has a ticket to a concert in Japan however, after watching several concert dvds of the rock artist whose concert she wants to attend, she suddenly felt nervous and was telling me how she could imagine herself in that crowd (in video) and being an odd man out because one, she is a gaijin, two, because of the language barrier which, she said, might prevent her from being "one" with the crowd of Japanese fangirls, three, she will be alone (I cannot join her due to circumstances). Aside from that, she will also go to the venue alone and spend a night there alone too. I wanted to tell her to go for it because we both know this is her last and only chance. On the other hand, I do understand her fears...

what advice should I tell her? To push through or not?

Answer:

I wouldn't worry about any of the things you mentioned. If she really likes the band then why not go? 1) You don't stand around talking to people at concerts. And with a little pre-planning, she shouldn't have any problems getting to the venue and back to the hotel.
2) Who cares about being odd man out? She's not that special. She might get a few glances, but overall people could care less.

Will there be another radiation leak and meltdown from the recent quake?

Question:

Answer:

No, that was my first question after the quake woke me up. And, they said there wasn't anything "out of the ordinary" considering the whole situation. Nothing got worse. They did evacuate the workers, but now they are back to work, fixing the problem . . . which isn't going to get better overnight, but still . . . .

Here's a good article by the English edition of the Daily Yomiuri (one of Japan's top newspapers): http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/T11…

Why Japanese culture is better then others?

Question:

Im watching Naruto Shippuden on DVD. ena I thought our culture thingy is
better than any other ones.
Why Japanese culture is better then others, is it because we have
the longest tradition of 2671 years which even Israeli don't has as a nation?
or is it bcoz we are better in sensibility(as my theory tell it)?
any opinion is welcome eventhou my conclusion is settled already.

OOOOOkaaaayyyyyy. you wanna write as if "there is no culture which is better than others", right?
sorry, I dont agree withyou already. you admit it and asnwer....

Answer:

Maybe because we manage to incorporate the present modern culture and technology with the old and serene culture very well. Alot of other countries tend to be either stuck in the old traditions or throw away their old traditions so that they can live in the modern era. But ours is a mixture of both. (you get my point lol)

But I'm more interested with the Indian culture. They seem to be very festive and mysterious.

>>Koyomi Kishimoto - I remember you. You are the one who acts like a pervert in your answers. lol..

Is there any way i could get over to Japan to help with the disaster?

Question:

I was reading the newspaper this morning and it hurts to even see people so desperate, I would love to go over with a charity to help support them. How do i go about this?

Answer:

I'm not sure what Habitat is doing specifically for this disaster, but you might be able to join a group helping in Japan. Here's a link to get you started: https://www.habitat.org/intl/ap/103.aspx…

But, it's true that if you don't speak Japanese, and don't have specific skills, you might be more in the way than helpful. There are things you can do at home. Have a bake sale or flea market, or just a straight donation drive to raise money for the area. Most of the charities I know about are donating through the Japanese Red Cross. http://www.jrc.or.jp/english/

Good luck! It's nice to know there are good people out in the world . . . .

What is the current value (in US dollars) of a Japanese 50 yen banknote?

Question:

I have a 50 yen banknote from Japan circa 1943. My grandfather was in the war and there is an inscription on the top that says "Tarawa Atoll Nov. 20 1943". I was wondering what this thing's worth nowadays, and where I would be able to get it accredited. I know about the battle at Tarawa Atoll and was thinking maybe this would add to the value?

Answer:

I think the 50 yen banknote is probably 軍票 (Military-issued notes) and not a currency that was used in Japan proper.

It probably has no monetary value, but rather historical value that collectors might be willing to pay. Not sure how much it is worth though.
